Lyrics

when I sat down alone on the mountain
I was broke-down living in vain
I let the wind hear my latest confession
I said, 'I'm dying to be born again'

and then that wind got working in inside me
and the sun burned through my pain
and when that wind came howling out of me
mountains echoed with the word she's saying

she said, 'Yodl-lay-ee-hee, yodl-lay-hee”

so when I walked on down from that mountain
there was love shining from within
and now I'm dancing with the kids in the city
enlightened and ready to sin

yeah I was born in pursuit of affection
and I like the way you move your lips
but my desire is a state of affliction
crying out from my swinging hips

she said, 'Yodl-lay-ee-hee, yodl-lay-hee”

yodl-lay-ee yodl-lay-ee hee
yodl-lay-ee yodl-lay-ee
yodl-lay-ee yodl-lay-ee hee
yodl-lay-ee yodl-lay-ee

so you've heard my latest confession
with your eyes burning right through me
and it's a bit premature-confidential
but I'm hoping that you like what you see

but I'm a bit too self-referential
and I'm a bit too eager to please
and that hot-cold love differential
it's gonna knock that mountain wind of of me, oh no

yodl-lay-ee-hee, yodl-lay-hee

yodl-lay-ee yodl-lay-ee hee
yodl-lay-ee yodl-lay-ee
yodl-lay-ee yodl-lay-ee hee
yodl-lay-ee yodl-lay-ee

when I walk on down from that mountain, now
all I had was game
but when I get down to dance in the city, let me tell ya
all I got was pain, oh yeah

yodl-lay-ee yodl-lay-ee hee
yodl-lay-ee yodl-lay-ee
yodl-lay-ee yodl-lay-ee hee
yodl-lay-ee yodl-lay-ee
